Valdespin Responds On Twitter About Recent Controversy
The past few days, the Jordany Valdespin incident with the Pirates and his Mets teammates has been a big story.

Was Valdespin Sent Up By Collins To Get Hit?
Updated by Joe D. at 2:30 PM
Just caught this on MetsBlog who seems to have just caught on to what has been a two day debate here:
It almost sounds like Collins put Valdespin in a situation he knew would end up with a hit-by-pitch, maybe in an effort to teach Valdespin a lesson, right? If that’s the case, is that why Valdespin threw a ‘tantrum,’ as fans and media have described it...
Mets Have More To Worry About Than Valdespin Hitting Home Runs
They say that the cream always rises to the top. Except of course when you don’t use it and just let it sit around and spoil.
That’s what continues to happen with Jordany Valdespin.
In the latest chapter of the New York soap opera titled “El Dramático,” Valdespin was intentionally hit by a pitch by Pirates reliever Bryan Morris. This stemmed from Valdespin’s prolonged...
Mets Better Off Without Valdespin
Two weeks ago I wondered why Jordany Valdespin wasn’t getting more playing time. Now, I’m wondering why I bothered to care.
Why should I, or anybody else for that matter – outside his immediate family – care about Valdespin, of whom GM Sandy Alderson recently said is testing his limits of tolerance?

Jordany Valdespin Doesn’t Care What You Think
He homered Valdy Style.
When Jordany Valdespin walloped a ninth-inning homer into the second deck in right field – the “Pepsi Porch” – he flipped his bat and watched the ball soar, not exactly toeing the line on baseball etiquette.
But Valdespin seems unlikely to change. “When you hit the ball, you got to enjoy your hit,” he said. “Every time I hit the ball, homer...
Jordany Valdespin Suffers From A Chronic Case Of Negative Framing
The concept of fault lines in the media is something we all witness on a daily basis, but rarely recognize. Fault lines are a tool that help shape the perception of ourselves, others and events around us.

Can Mets avoid the Peter Principle with Jordany Valdespin?
No doubt that you have heard the phrase, “people rise to the level of their incompetence.” This is a common experience in the work place, which is filled with managers who were successful in their previous position and then promoted into a position for which they have no aptitude. Essentially, this is the Peter Principle.

Jordany Valdespin takes mean pie to face after grand slam (Video)
Jordany Valdespin hit a walk-off grand slam to give the New York Mets a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night at Citi Field, and he took a shaving cream pie to the face to celebrate the occasion.
Valdespin was up with the bases loaded in the 10th after the Dodgers intentionally walked Lucas Duda with one out to set up a double play. Valdespin questionably moved...
